Lyrics
[Somber instrumental intro, 10 seconds]
[Intro: African American male]
Yeah, yeah
Uh, uh
[Refrain: African American male]
She chose her way, I stayed behind,
Paths diverged, dreams left confined.
Joanne, an angel in disguise,
Now she's gone, with empty skies.
[Chorus: African American male]
She’s gone, slipped through my hands,
Left alone, in these empty lands.
Her love was a light I couldn't chase,
Now I wander, lost in space.
[Verse 1: African American male]
Joanne took flight, her own path to tread,
I stayed back, with memories in my head.
A chance I missed, a road not taken,
Now left alone, heart's achin'.
[Pre-Chorus: African American male]
Every step she takes, I feel the burn,
In the ashes, I find no return.
Her shadow haunts, a distant star,
In my dreams, she’s never far.
[Chorus: African American male]
She’s gone, slipped through my hands,
Left alone, in these empty lands.
Her love was a light I couldn't chase,
Now I wander, lost in space.
[Bridge: African American male]
Regret’s a flame that never dies,
Burns within, beneath these skies.
Joanne, my angel, now so free,
While I remain, in misery.
[Verse 2: African American male]
Saw her path, so bright, so clear,
Watched in silence, fueled by fear.
Couldn’t follow, too scared to leap,
Now I’m lost, in shadows deep.
[Pre-Chorus: African American male]
Every step she takes, I feel the burn,
In the ashes, I find no return.
Her shadow haunts, a distant star,
In my dreams, she’s never far.
[Chorus: African American male]
She’s gone, slipped through my hands,
Left alone, in these empty lands.
Her love was a light I couldn't chase,
Now I wander, lost in space.
[Outro: African American male]
Maybe one day, our paths will meet,
In another life, our love complete.
For now, I drift, with memories clear,
Joanne, my angel, forever near.
Yeah, she’s gone, so far away,
In my heart, she’ll always stay.
(Somber instrumental outro, 20 seconds)
